Drunkenness in Switzerland.

Drunkenness having greatly increased in
Switzerland the Swiss are about to try a
new experiment for restricting the sale of
alcohol. The manufacture of spirits has
been made afederal monopoly, ali distllcrs
being required 10 sell their produce to the
State, which will then resell it 10 the con-
sumer. The quality will be improved, strict
regulations being enforced as to the sub
stances used in distillation; but the retail
price will be raised, the Federal Govern
lnent expecting to raise e40O 900 q year
from the monopoly. seven and one half per
cent. of which must be spent by the Can
tons on measures calculated to check the
abuse Of alcohol. 1t will be interesting to
watch the effect OF this experiment, which
is the first effort ever made on a great
scale TO reduce the consumption of con-
eentrated alcohol, while leaving that of
diffnsed alcohol, as in wine and cider. un-

Swedeshoro,s Big Tree.

Near Swedesboro, on the Raccoon
Greek, on the Joseph Black farm, there
is the largest tree that have ever
seen; it is buttonwood and sound
and beautiful. 1t is nearly twenty-five
feet in circumference. or between seven
and eight feet across it. Mr.. Alexander
Black, an aged man, the former owner,
remembers when the tree had notch
in it large enough for a boy to sit in.
Some fool attempted to cut it down.
1t has completely grown over so the
bark is only rougher. I have no doubt
it is growing fast and will wrestle with
the storms in 1886. A rich farmer was
looking at it and said if it was ON his
farm he would not have it cut down
for $1,000. That tree has been the
contemporary of the Bla ks, Gaskills
and Strattons for o century and 3
quarter. It witnessed the Republics
dawn, and was kissed in its youth By
the same breeze that bore the gladsome
news of liberty. Little boys have
played under it's branches and reposed
IN old age under it's ample shade.

when a mans life shall be like that OF
tree.-Salem IN. j. Sunbeam.

The Charges Against Him.

Once, when he was having sharp
fight for the nomination, the party
paper, which was unfavorable to him,
published charges against him of such
nature that he felt compelled to call
on the editor. He went to the Office,
and the first man he met was the man
he was looking for. Here, sir" he
said, without preliminaries, Il want

editor, laying bill on the counter:
I'VE have you charged with three cleo
ton announcements at So each, and six

MANY people are probably not aware
of the fact that New York had an Irish
Catholic Governor in 1888, and for
some years after. This was Thomas
Dongan, the younger son of Sir John
Dongan, AN Irish baronet, and
nephew to Richard Talbot, Earl of
Tyrconnel.
The cruel sports of Rome were not
the only source of the degradation Of
Roman society. The exhibition of Ii
centious shows and immoral plays had
o profound influence. The extremes
to which these were carried cannot
even be explained in modern writings.
Il is not strange that the early Chris.
tians came to have toward these shows
somewhat of the feelings which the
English Puritans entertained towards
all dramatic exhibitions.

attempting to pass it without q pilot,

il is needless to exalt one more than the
other, but Sickles was the courageous of
the courageous that day, and he left leg
upon that field, when twenty three years
ago the contcnding armies met. On the

BIZ JAMES F. Fits.

There's q memory growing deeper
AS the ruthless years go by
OF silent, namelaas sleeper
Who was not afraid to die,
And his 1nartyred face shines ever
Through tho gloom that wraps the river
All death cannot dissever
That battle-wedded tie!
No sword his hand was waving,
No strap his shoulder graced,
When his strong soul was Drawing
The conflicts fiery waste;
But he clutched his musket tightly,
And his bavonet glinted brightly,
And his foot was firm and sprightly,
As the line went Oh swift-paced.
When the sulphurous srnoke-clouds driftet
Along the stricken field,
BY luminous breathings lifted,
AS thunderous voices pealed-
Where death was winged with lightning
Was sped with tumult frightening,
Was pent with horrors heightenings
Forward the good line reeled.
They trembled-but, undaunted,
Held on that pitiless way;
Up to the guns they fnunted
Their tattered flags that day.
But where the swath was deadly.
In that raging, roaring medley,
His blue all spotted redly,
My own bravo comrade lay.
No praise for him is craven
On granite proud and high,
Who could not be q craven,
Who did not fear to diel
His sleep is with that hundred
Who fell where volleys Numbered,
While the nation wept and wondered,
And none recall-but l.
Yet, as the years grow older,
Forgotten though the name,
Shall brighter grow, and holder,
The record of his fame.
What though tardy payment
Ye grudge the martyr claimant?
His soul in shining railnent
Its heritage shall claim!

Bears In the Rockies.

There is among western men much
controversy as to the various kinds OF
bear inhabiting our western Alps, but
the number of those who, from per-
sonal observation, are capable of form
ing an opinion is very small. In the
first place, for all the sanguinary talk
around the stove, there are not a great
many men who have made practice of
hunting bear at all. One such incident
as that which occurred two years ago
in the Big Horn scares good many.
A poor fellow there came on bea-, q
small cinnamon, feeding on an elk he
had killed. He fred and wounded it /;
the bear retreated and he followed.
Coming up with it, again he fired, when
the bear charged him. Trying to re-
load Che used, I heard, a single-shot
Sharp rife, the extractor came off the
empty shell, and, of course, he was de-
fenceless. He evidently drew his knife
and used it desperately; for when they
found him the bear lay near him, dead.
with many knife wounds in it, but it
had killed him first. In short, both on
account of the danger and by reason of
the great difficulty in seeing them, it
scarcely pays to hunt bears alone.
There are comparatively few men,
say, whose opinion is worth much, and
some of these seem to have anidea
that, for the credit of the mountain
land they love, they are bound to peo-
pie it with as many different species of
bear as they can. Now, as matter Of
fact, bolieve that almost all the bears
ranging In the Rocky Mountains occa-
sionally breed together certainly, brown
and black sometimes do. Our party
once shot q black bear with large
brown cross, extending from the tail
to back of head and down each shoulder.
Just as certainly the brown and grizzly
on occasions intermarry. My hunter
assures me he has shot gray cubs with
brown SOW. / may be wrong, but /
cannot myself see any difference suf-
ficiently marked to warrant the idea
that the cinnamon bear of the Rockies
is not the coarser, larger brown bear,
the result of some crossing between the
grizzly and the brown.
Then, some men insist that among
the gray bear there are no less than
three distinct varieties silvertip, roach
back, and grizzly. As I have said be-
fore, cannot say anything about the
California grizzly, though do not
think, from skins have examined, he
differs materially from his neighbor of
themountain but - to these differences
